Yann Martel is best known as the author of the modern classic “Life of Pi” But he also happens to be a longtime member at CrossFit Brio in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In this conversation with guest host Jocelyn Rylee, Yann shares how CrossFit became part of his life more than 14 years ago, and why he still shows up to class five days a week.
The two also discuss his writing process, the symbolism behind “Life of Pi,” and how fiction and fitness both shape how we understand ourselves and the world. Surprise guest Dave Castro crashes the conversation midway through to meet the author and share why “Life of Pi” is one of his favorite books of all time.
